Strength training for a body in transition
For women who want to feel physically capable again without turning exercise into punishment. Rowe-Ham combines movement, food, recovery, and mindset in a practical plan shaped by her own difficult perimenopause. The book’s strongest message is that training may need to change when energy, joints, sleep, and stress change. Strength training becomes less about appearance and more about muscle, bones, confidence, and future independence. The book earns its place here as an action-oriented companion: easy to begin, encouraging enough to continue, and clear that adapting a routine is not the same as giving up.
About Kate Rowe-Ham
Kate Rowe-Ham was a fit 41-year-old trainer when anxiety, palpitations, joint pain, and night sweats disrupted her life during lockdown and her father’s terminal illness. Replacing relentless HIIT with strength work became both recovery and a new midlife mission.
